“Cargill is proud to be working with local authorities, live haul trucking firms and our producers in this important initiative,” says Wendy Baker, manager of animal welfare at the Ottumwa plant. “This event marks a milestone in the industry, as everyone is involved in improving the well-being of animals from the farm to transport to the plant. When we work together, we can ensure that if and when a rollover accident occurs, we all will do the right thing to respond to the situation.”

Cargill was founded in 1865 and is a privately held company that employs 160,000 people in 67 countries.
